A review of the weekend's action in the Dutch Eredivisie.
Feyenoord remain top of the Eredivisie after a 2-0 victory at Willem II preserved their 100 per cent start to the season.
Nicolai Jorgensen's strike early in the first half and a second goal from Renato Tapia in the 76th minute extended Feyenoord's perfect record in the league to eight wins from as many matches and saw them stretch their lead at the summit to five points.
Ajax are now their closest rivals after they recorded a fifth straight league win against FC Utrecht in Amsterdam.
Kevin Conboy gave the visitors a surprise half-time lead but Ramon Leeuwin's own goal, a Lasse Schone penalty and a strike by Hakim Ziyech ensured all three points for Ajax.
Mark van der Maarel reduced Utrecht's deficit to a single goal late on but they fell to a 3-2 defeat.
A Mateusz Klich penalty put FC Twente ahead at Heracles Almelo but the hosts replied quickly through Samuel Armenteros' 42nd-minute effort to earn a 1-1 draw.
It was also 1-1 in the late game between Sparta Rotterdam and AZ Alkmaar as Michel Breuer struck just before the break to cancel out Guus Til's early opening goal for the visitors.
Sparta finished the game with 10 men after Denzel Dumfries was sent off in injury-time.
On Saturday, PSV Eindhoven missed the chance to close the gap on leaders Feyenoord when they had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Heerenveen.
Coach Phillip Cocu had wanted the kick-off put back to Sunday following a testing midweek trip to Russian side Rostov in the Champions League.
PSV were finding the going tough, and saw captain Luuk de Jong suffer a gashed head after colliding with defender Jeremiah St Juste.
Heerenveen took the lead on 72 minutes when Arber Zeneli scored flowing a swift counter-attack.
PSV, though, were quickly level when, just three minutes later, St Juste turned a deflected cross from Gaston Pereiro into his own net.
The defending Eredivisie champions could have snatched a late victory, but saw a close-range free-kick given for a backpass cleared off the line.
Roda remained bottom after they lost 1-0 at home against NEC Nijmegen with a breakaway goal on 78 minutes from Kevin Mayi enough to secure victory.
Vitesse beat Groningen 2-1 at GelreDome, where the match had to be stopped because of a torrential downpour during the second half.
Danny Hoesen had given the visitors the lead from the penalty spot after just four minutes, but midfielder Lewis Baker, on loan from Chelsea, equalised a minute before half-time with a curling free-kick.
As the heavens opened during the second half, the referee took both teams off for 15 minutes.
No sooner had play eventually resumed, Vitesse went on to claim all three points as defender Kelvin Leerdam scored from close range with 14 minutes left.
Saturday's late kick-off saw Go Ahead Eagles beat Excelsior 3-0 at De Adelaarshorst, with an early goal from Sander Duits on 11 minutes and a penalty in each half from Sam Hendriks (36, 72).
The visitors had finished the match with 10 men after forward Danilo Pantic collected a second caution on 57 minutes.
PEC Zwolle claimed their first win of the season thanks to Youness Mokhtar's second-half double as they beat ADO Den Haag 2-1 on Friday.
Tom Trybull fired ADO ahead two minutes after half-time, but the visitors' lead lasted only four minutes as Mokhtar turned in Danny Holla's assist.
Mokhtar then ensured a first win in eight league games for Zwolle on 70 minutes after scoring from a Wout Brama assist, before Trybull was sent off.
